meteors pass through earth's atmosphere and if they are large enough to not burn up they hit the earth becoming meteorites, that is about as close as is possible

What is a super comet?
A super comet is one that passes very closely to earths surface. It is said that if a super comet hit earth, it could wipe out existence as we know it.
How is gravity generated on the moon?
All objects irrespective of size that have a mass have gravity.The moon has very little gravity in comparison to the Earth The moons gravity is around 17% of that on Earth whereas the Suns is 2,800 times that of Earth's The effect of the Moons gravity is easiest to recognise with tides on Earth.
What displays of light is caused by something burning up in earth's atmosphere?
Objects that are burning up in Earth's atmosphere are generally moving very quickly, therefore the display of light that you see will appear as a streak.
Why would objects on Saturn weigh the same as earth?
Not quite. An object would weight slightly more on Saturn than it does on Earth.
Name the heavenly bodies which you see as shooting stars.?
Meteors. Usually they are very small objects, about the size of a grain of sand.Meteors. Usually they are very small objects, about the size of a grain of sand.Meteors.

What is the objects approach the Earth very close it has 3 letter?
NEO's (Near Earth Object)
Which large planet will pass very closely to earth in year 2012?
No planet will.
What comet or asteroid will come close to the Earth in 2012?
Comets are difficult to predict; we currently know of no comets that will be visible in 2012, but new ones are discovered periodically. No asteroids that we are aware of will approach the Earth very closely before April 13, 2029, when the asteroid Apophis will come fairly close the Earth. (But it will miss.)
Why dont you notice the force of gravity between most objects on the Earth?
Because the objects are tiny compared with the Earth, the comparative gravitational force is very small.
What is a flat bottom?
A flat bottom is a hull design which allows the user to approach very closely to shore, or enter shallow waters.
How is energy relate to work?
Basically, work refers to an energy transfer.
How a zigzag road is maped on google earth or google maps?
A zigzag road is mapped on Google earth or Google maps as a straight line unless zoomed very closely
What does a very bright star mean?
It means that the object is closer to earth than most other objects in the sky.
Is it true that Earth is the only planet with gravity?
No, that's not true. All planets, moons, and stars have gravity. Actually all objects have gravity, it's just not very strong for small objects.
What controls the force of gravity between two objects?
The mass of the two objects and the distance between them control the force of gravity between them. The equation for the force of gravity between two objects is Fg=(GMm)/R2, so if two objects are very massive, the force will be greater, and if two objects are very close the force will be greater. The force of gravity is directly related to the mass of the objects and inversely related to the distance between them.the earth
Is the planet Venus a gas or a rocky planet?
Venus is a 'rocky' planet, with a dense atmosphere, very roughly the same size as earth, the planet that can approach closest to the earth, and the brightest one in our sky.
Why do objects weigh less on the Moon than on Earth-?
It is because there is less gravitational force on the moon.
